Opposition leaders in Spain have accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of neglecting the residents of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the North African coast, citing a perceived lack of support for the city’s economic and security challenges. They argue that the government’s policies have failed to address rising unemployment, housing shortages, and the strain of border control measures that affect daily life for Ceuta’s diverse population. The criticism comes amid growing tensions between the central government and regional parties, who claim that Ceuta’s strategic importance is not being leveraged to improve local infrastructure or public services. Sánchez has yet to respond publicly, but the dispute highlights broader debates over Spain’s approach to its overseas territories and the balance of resources between mainland and peripheral regions.
